Windows 10 Graal Editor Workaround
1 Attachment(s)
Due to changes Microsoft made to system files compatibility between GraalEditor.exe and Windows 10 was broken.
After some playing around I found it was possible to work-around the changes and stop GraalEditor from loading the wrong DLLs (d2d1.dll, d3d11.dll, iertutil.dll) which cause the crash on startup and issues with the file dialogs/browser. I've improved on my original fix and created an AutoIT script and wrapper exe that does the process much more seamlessly. Install Instructions: 1. Download GraalEditorW10.zip 2. Extract GraalEditorW10.exe to your Graal folder 3. Right-click GraalEditorW10.exe and Run As Administrator 4. Select your GraalEditor.exe when prompted 5. Click OK to the prompt indicating changes were made to system files After installing you no longer need to run GraalEditorW10.exe as an Administrator unless it refuses to work properly. Open With Configuration Instructions: 1. Right-click a level file. 2. Open With > Choose more apps 3. Check the box indicating to always open with this app 4. Select 'more apps' and scroll down to the bottom 5. Choose another app and find and select GraalEditorW10.exe How it works: 1. GraalEditorW10.exe is an exe wrapper for an AutoIT script below 2. Checks and adjusts permissions of system files so they can't be accessed before editor is started 3. Kicks off the process to start the editor 4. Waits for the editor to close 5. Adjusts permissions back to allow other applications to access them The only potential issue is if you have another application that requires those dlls while running the editor but in my experience I've yet to run into such a scenario. If any future Windows updates make changes to the specified system files, you refresh/reinstall, or if you move your Graal folder to a different computer just re-install the fix by running it as an Administrator.

Perfect! Thank you. (I can't rep you, as you've already been repped recently by me!)
I've shared this with the iEra staff :) |
I've updated the fix to be more seamless and easier to install.
